Konami has confirmed that remaking the original Metal Gear Solid will be a more complex endeavor compared to the upcoming remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. Producer Noriaki Okamura stated in a recent interview that while there is potential for future remakes, they are unlikely to happen soon due to the need for significant new elements in the original game's remake. The ongoing Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is more of a direct remake, described as an HD remaster with limited changes. Konami aims to secure the franchise's legacy while evaluating the reception of future titles. Additionally, the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collections are preserving earlier installments for modern consoles, with Volume 2 expected to feature Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.

Will there be a remake of the original Metal Gear Solid?

While Konami has not ruled out the possibility of remaking the original Metal Gear Solid, they have indicated that it will take more time and resources compared to their current project, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. Fans should not expect announcements for such remakes in the immediate future.

Metal Gear Solid, released in 1998, is a stealth action game that has had a significant impact on the gaming industry, known for its deep narrative and innovative gameplay mechanics. The franchise was primarily developed by Hideo Kojima, whose recent exit from Konami has left many fans wondering about the future direction of the series. The game introduced players to the iconic character Solid Snake and the intricacies of the world of espionage, setting a high standard for storytelling in video games.
